Speaking of hard truth.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!

Realize no matter what Trump does, half the country is going to criticize him.
He is trying to walk a fine line between effectively treating this while trying to keep things as calm as possible.
It’s probably what I would do as well, watch what’s going on behind the scenes, and not just what he’s Tweeting.
